I think the public-signage vandalism documented midway down this blog post is funnier than the "ASSISTANCE" kiosks ubiquitous around Harvard property.

I was a fan of the once-universal "NO PASSING THROUGH" signs on the red line (variation: NO PASSING THROUGH). My current favorite is the large wall sign in the Central Square station saying ELEVATOR.

El Vato is my current favorite one. Not sure when it appeared, but I noticed it just the other day.

Although, the sign in Porter Square saying "No feeding the pidgeons", but admended with "This is hate" is good too.

Ok, what does "el vato" mean? I've noticed it every morning for a month or two. My Spanish-English dictionary doesn't have it, which I assume means it's slang (not that I couldn't have figured that out already). Translate, por favor?

That rocks. I have to admit I still enjoy the classic "THANK YOU FOR POT SMOKING", though it's not as elegant as simple erasure of letters.

Part of our floor is now occupied by Fidelity, and as you're walking to the elevator lobby from my part of the building you see through our glass doors to just the "FIDEL" part of their big sign on the wall. Every time I see this I wonder what my Cuban officemate thinks about it.

uh-huh, uh-huh

I always love the ass stance.
